The Dreamcast cord has nothing the TurboGrafx-16 cord. You have to like sit right in front of your T.V. with the stock controllers on TG-16.

Never played one of those so can't comment on the cord length.

Odyssey2.  The cord comes from the back like the Atari 2600, except the cords are "hardwired" and the cords are extremely short.  I wanna say Intellivision also had extremely short cords.

I wanna say I don't recall Dreamcast or Gamecube cords being particularly short, but I did buy extension cords for both.  I remember N64 having short cords and winding up tugging the system, but I don't know.

I remember thinking the GCN controller was so weird, but then when you think about it, the N64 controller is much more weird.

Agreed about the Gamecube and N64 controllers.  For me, the N64 controllers were actually painful to use as the left "handle" dug into the back of my hand when trying to use the analog stick.  I never understood the design of that thing and compared to the PlayStation controller, it was bad all around.

They share a lot of 3rd party games. So I will judge them strictly off design and 1st party exclusives. Both of which I have to give to GameCube. Game Cube has one of the best controllers I have ever felt to this day and so many powerhouse 1st party titles. Some of my top ten favorites all time. Xbox doesn't have one of my top ten list games although Halo 2 and Stubbs the Zombie come close. On 3rd party cross platform games I prefer PS2 to both. PS2 is my favorite of the Gen then Cube then Xbox. All were great in their own way though.
